PUBG Corp has changed direction on the latest anti-cheat update to Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, which was causing all sorts of performance problems and random crashes. PC players, despite its effectiveness in blocking cheats, we have decided to roll back our latest live server update.We will continue to resolve some compatibility issues caused by it. We apologize for the inconvenience.March 11, 2018The PUBG Help account also warned that there will be a three-hour maintenance period tonight in

PNY has added a 960GB capacity drive to its CS900 line of entry-level solid state drives. Billed as a “low-cost” SSD family, other capacity options in the CS900 series include 480GB, 240GB, and 120GB models. PNY is a little late to the game here, as the company hasn’t been as active in the SSD space as many of its competitors. The 960GB CS900 is PNY’s second 960GB SSD, the other being a more performance oriented CS2211 series drive under its XLR8 branding. The CS900 with 960GB meets today’s requ

Saint Paddy’s Day, March 17, is a celebration best known for Irish music, drinking, shamrocks, drinking, Leprechauns, Guinness, and drinking. Digital games distributor GOG now throws videogames into the green-whirring festivities with its St Patrick’s Day Sale—running now through March 19. As is often the case with GOG sales, this one’s lucky dip-type offer plays to its Paddy’s Day theme. That means every Mystery Game is worth more than the hat and you’ll always get a safe deal.” Check out GOG’s

The day I saw the introductory trailer for New Blood Interactive’s new Heretic-inspired shooter Amid Evil, I felt a call to action. I wanted there to be a Magic: The Gathering expansion set for Amid Evil just to read the flavor text on the cards. I entered Amid Evil with questions about the whos, whats, and whys. They’re fast, aggressive, and out for blood because they do not want me in their moon temple. Amid Evil sits in the middle of this spectrum with a story to tell, but not one where I can

Planet Alpha surfaced in 2013 as a side project of then IO Interactive employee Adrian Lazar. As outlined in the moving pictures below, Planet Alpha weaves a gorgeous art style with puzzles, stealth mechanics and intricate platforming—wherein, after waking up in strange surroundings, the player can “rotate and control the planet” as they strive to find their bearings. “Planet Alpha is the work of passion of a small but very ambitious team. It’s such a pleasure to welcome Planet Alpha to the Team

Created by Andrew ‘Aro’ Owen, and now supported by a larger team, Twisted Insurrection is a great example of what a talented group of fans can do for the legacy of a brilliant base game. Twisted Insurrection also adds a third, new faction: Globotech. More akin to how it looked in C&C, Twisted Insurrection’s Flame Tank spurts out huge fireballs that look like napalm, where Tiberian Sun’s just looked like an endless string of burning sausages. Twisted Insurrection also has its own soundtrack which

The ragtag islands of the Deadfire Archipelago are scattered across a great expanse of ocean spanning thousands of miles. The ragtag islands of the Deadfire Archipelago are scattered across a great expanse of ocean spanning thousands of miles. In the lawless Deadfire Archipelago, which is like a watery Wild West, someone is always looking for a scrap. But there are plenty of new faces to recruit, including a few native to the Deadfire Archipelago. While the Dyrwood felt like a small chunk of a l

If you’re fond of sand dunes and salty air, interactive history lessons and non-combative fare, you might fancy Assassin’s Creed Origins’ Discovery Mode. But if you prefer undead mummies, Anubis-esque guards, giant scorpions and shed loads of bloody murder, I reckon The Curse of the Pharaohs DLC is more your groove. “Across the Nile, you’ll find the Valley of the Kings, pitted with the plundered tombs of Egyptian royalty,” Ubisoft explains. Ubisoft promises the ordeal to be “a challenge even for

Hot on the heels of its “biggest update to date”, Astroneer is going cheap on Steam this week now through March 16. Its latest developer diary explores the latest iteration of splitters—heading to the sandbox adventure ’em up next week—and the power system skill ceiling. First off, Astroneer’s 20 percent discount sees it drop to £12.59/$15.99—a price developer System Era Softworks reckons will be the lowest this side of Early Access, and “possibly the last time” the game is on sale before versio

Two years ago I wrote about a Doom fan game which imagined the ye olde shooter as a sidescrolling, Metal Slug-esque platformer. Dubbed MiniDoom, studio Calavera described it as a “very short parody game”. If you happened to play the first MiniDoom, this looks to be the same, except bigger. There are 17 new levels, two new bosses, and a total of 14 weapons, as well as five difficulty levels and four game modes. There are 14 weapons, significantly more than than Doom 2 had, but I won’t complain.

The Dallas Fuel announced today that it has released Overwatch League player Félix “xQc” Lengyel from its roster. Ultimately, it was in the best interest of our organization and Félix to part ways before the expiration of his contract,” said Dallas Fuel owner Mike Rufail in a statement. His contract with the team was set to expire at the end of the first Overwatch League season. “Our focus is to field a roster with players that are available to help the Dallas Fuel succeed now and in the future,

The organisers of fighting game tournament EVO have notified the FBI after a Twitch user threatened a “mass shooting” at this year’s tournament, which takes place in Las Vegas in August. Tournament director Joey Cuellar said that he had contacted both the FBI and Twitch after being made aware of the threat. We are aware of the threat that was made against Evo 2018, and have contacted the FBI and Twitch regarding this matter. The tournament takes place at the Mandalay Bay Resort, the site of an a

Sci-fi action RPG Dolmen is heading to Kickstarter next month, and I reckon it’ll garner a fair amount of support. It’s a mix of horror and heavy, deliberate third-person combat set on the strange alien world of Revion Prime. Not exactly the most original premise, but if the gameplay is tight then it’ll work. Expect some scares, and the main character’s exoskeleton can’t help but put me in mind of Isaac Clarke from the Dead Space series. It looks like it’s at least worth keeping tabs on if this

Someone probably knows how Drake of the 99 Dragons ended up on Steam, but I can’t find them. As a teenaged disciple of the games media, Drake of the 99 Dragons was the first game I remember earning a gleeful shellacking from all sides. I spent $4.95 for the privilege of playing Drake of the 99 Dragons in 2018. The plot centers around a life-giving artifact that’s been pilfered from the proud 99 Dragons clan. What’s funny is that apparently this PC port is somehow the best version of Drake of the

I had no idea that the first three Tomb Raider games were available on Steam but, yep, they’re all there. Realtech VR is the company handling the remasters, and it’s basing them on the mobile versions of the games. TR1-3 remaster for PC are planned for Steam for free and will requires the purchase of the DOS version being sold on Steam (like ZDoom playing Doom games). It has already finished the first two games and is currently working on Tomb Raider 3. A trailer for the remaster of Tomb Raider

Dwarf Fortress-inspired space sim Starmancer caught Austin’s eye last month with its promise of modular space station building and deep colony management, and he wasn’t the only one to take notice. Chucklefish Games, which published Stardew Valley, has picked up the project, it announced on Twitter this week. As well as Stardew Valley, the company has published games like Risk of Rain and developed Starbound , the procedurally-generated 2D space sandbox game. It has decided to back Starmancer af

screams streamer The_Happy_Hob as he rams his spear into Gwyn, Dark Souls’ final boss. He’s not wrong: with that thrust he became the first player to complete the entire Dark Souls trilogy without taking a single hit. I can’t even begin to imagine the amount of skill, preparation and concentration it took to pull that off. He nearly did it last month but, painfully, fell to the final boss in the final game—you might’ve seen the clip below doing the rounds. And if you want to see more Dark Souls

Ten-player battle royale game Darwin Project has arrived on Steam Early Access, and developer Scavengers Studio plans to have the final game ready to go for the summer. On the show director role, one person watches over each game, and can speak to all the participants, giving them instructions or—perhaps—messing with them. Apparently, if you played any of the beta or alpha versions of the game on Steam then you’ll get the full version for free, which is a nice surprise. Scavengers Studio plans t

The modern remaster of Bioware’s third-person RPG Neverwinter Nights will release on Steam on March 27, Beamdog has announced. The team is “investigating” ways to add new content to the original game’s campaign but it hasn’t yet found a way to do it. Having played, but not exhausted, the game when it first came out, I may just dip into this one. The Enhanced Edition will support resolutions up to 4K, offer more graphics options, and include many fan-requested tweaks to the original game. Any fut
